Mike Maignan and Theo Hernandez will not be among Milan’s squad for tomorrow’s match valid for the round of 16 of the Italian Cup against Sassuolo: the goalkeeper has undergone minor dental surgery, while the full-back will be out as a precaution after a blow received in the last match against Empoli. Reporting it is Sky Sports.
Against the neroverdi, Paulo Fonseca will do some turnover: the defense, compared to Saturday, will change completely and will be made up of Calabria, Tomori, Pavlovic and Terracciano. Sportiello will be in goal, while in the middle of the pitch the Portuguese coach doesn’t seem willing to give up the duo of Fofana and Reijnders even tomorrow. Up front, rest for Pulisic who will be replaced by Loftus-Cheek. On the right there is room for Chukwueze, while on the left there is Fonseca’s only doubt between Leao and Okafor (the latter missed the match against Empoli due to the flu). The starting center forward will be Abraham.
